Nigeria forward Paul Onuachu has reflected on Southampton’s lastest defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The Saints fell to a 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday.
Onuachu scored Ivan Juric’s side second goal of the game, his first for the club.
“For me, when I came on, he (the manager) just said ‘Paul, go fight, try to keep the ball’ and I just did what he asked me,” he told the club’s official website.

“Of course, the whole team in the second half, they were full of energy, Lesley was brilliant again, an amazing player to watch. It was disappointing that we lose, but of course as a striker you have confidence that you get the first goal for Saints and I think the fans will be happy for me.”
Onuachu dedicated his first Southampton goal to the club’s fans.
“I mean, it’s a good feeling to score, but disappointing we lost, but I’m happy that I scored in front of the fans, he stated.
“The away fans, they were brilliant, they’ve been supportive even though we are last on the table and they’ve been also cheering for me to get this goal. I think all kudos to them for the goal because they’ve been really cheering for me to get the first goal.”
Onuachu added: “They’ve been brilliant. Even though we’ve been last in the table they’ve been travelling everywhere, full everywhere, I mean I’m just going to dedicate this goal to them because they’ve been supportive to be honest, they’re cheering for me when sometimes I’ve played a good game, played not so good game, they are still ‘Paul, come one, come on’ and still cheering. It’s nice to see.”
